Martha Marlow

Songwriter Martha Marlow grew up in a musical household. Writing and performing on the guitar, her open tunings, intricate arrangements and pure voice are trademarks of her unique sound. At 22, she has performed alongside the likes of Katie Noonan, Clare Bowditch, Angie Heart (Frente), Matt Corby and more. Martha s unique and moving vocal and guitar version of Randy Newman s ‘Feels Like Home for the recent QANTAS campaign was met with an overwhelmingly positive response. She was featured in a televised red carpet interview at the 2014 Arias, and performed live in the USA for the ‘G’day LA’ awards. Her version of the classic song, Unchained Melody , was featured in the final episode of the award winning TV drama series ‘A Place Called Home’ and made the top 100 ITunes downloads. In 2015, Martha Marlow performed her original compositions with the Australian Youth Orchestra touring Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. Her debut EP “These Days” (2013) was produced by Stu Hunter (Passenger, Julia Stone, Sia) and mastered by Grammy Award winner Helik Hadar (Joni Mitchell, Tracey Chapman). Her song, Dust’, was a finalist in the celebrated Vanda and Young Songwriting competition. Martha is also a visual artist. Her abundant creative musical talent parallels a Fine Arts degree in painting at the prestigious National Art School in Sydney where she received the Drawing Award in 2014. She is working on a second EP of her songs, which is due for release in 2017. “Martha Marlow is a raw and untapped talent with songs that surpass most of what we re introduced to in today s music” (themusic.com.) “Every now and then, in a male dominated industry and a traditionally male dominated field, one catches up with a female musician who blows your socks off – at once new and traditional (think Laurel Canyon in 1969). She introduces you to her intuitive musical world. Absolutely recommended if you need something effervescent to lift a heavy spirit. Steve Kilbey – The Church
